• Method

Method

1. View the warning table you are interested in: either
   • carry out a search for warnings that match specific criteria, or
   • view the results of an analysis to get the table of warnings for that analysis.
2. If the table doesn't fit on a single page, use the table pagination controls to navigate through the table. The controls are located at the top and bottom of the table:

   

3. The following annotated screenshot shows the different parts of the pagination controls.

   

4. Choose a column to sort on. For example, you can sort by warning class in ascending order. This will group all the Buffer Overrun warnings at the top of the table, followed by all the Buffer Underrun warnings, and so on down to the Varargs Function Cast warnings at the bottom of the table.
   1. Click on the heading of your chosen column to open a table menu.

      

   2. Select Sort Ascending from the menu to sort the column in ascending order (or select Sort Descending to sort in descending order).
5. Once the table is sorted, you can impose further orderings on it. For example, if you now sorted the table by File in ascending order, the warnings for each file would be grouped together in the table, ordered alphabetically by file name. Furthermore, the warnings within each file would be ordered alphabetically by warning class, because of the earlier sorting.
6. If the table is showing columns you aren't interested in, hide them:
   1. Click on the heading of the column you don't want to see.
   2. Select Hide from the table menu.
